Next on Vegas, a beauty pageant turns

into a nightmare.

>> They're trying to terrorize us.

>> Could we try again?

>> Hey

Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Well, that's enough. We don't have much

time.

>> One more group chat. Okay.

>> All right, girls. Gather around here for

one more group chat. We got 10 minutes

until rehearsal and that Sarah will not

be kept waiting. Everybody, let's go.

Come on. Let's go. We only got about 90

minutes here. line up just like these

three.

>> Close it up. Make like a fence.

Why the gap?

>> Where's Holly?

>> I'm sorry I'm late, Sarah. I got caught

in traffic.

>> Models are supposed to stop traffic,

Holly, not these stop flyers. Now go on,

get in. Tom needs to take the pictures.

>> All right, girls. Now remember to smile.

Now we can't sell some kind of swimwear

if you're not happy.

Ah, that's better.

Wait, you're crazy.

Never mind. He's here now.

>> Where have you been?

>> Where have I been? I've been out and

about.

>> Oh,

>> where have you been?

>> Right here.

>> It is so hot out there.

>> I know. Roth called from New York with

two important matters.

>> Roth. I haven't seen him in a while.

>> Yeah, I know. Now, he wants you to see a

George Crowley. He'll be in here

Saturday at 4:30. Want you to stay with

him.

>> Who's George Crowley?

>> Well, seems like he's a diamond

merchant. He'll be carrying $2 million

in uncut stones.

>> Slick knows I don't do bodyguard work.

>> Mhm. Well, he said you'd say that. So,

I'm supposed to tell you that this guy's

a real dear gambling buddy of his, and

he doesn't want anything to happen to

him on Desert Denim property.

>> This is not us. The second time this

week. Okay, no problem.

>> Okay, no problem. The guy's bringing me

in $2 million in gems. No problem.

Aren't you just a little bit curious?

>> No. What else you got?

>> Well, Roth wants you to see a Sarah

Bankraftoft on the double.

>> Sarah Bankraftoft? Isn't she the one who

designs the clothes?

>> Mhm. She's practically a legend. All the

beautiful women she's dressed put in to

end.

>> Be quite a picture, wouldn't it?

>> Yeah, good point. She's in business for

herself right now with swimwear. She's

uh introducing a new line Saturday in a

fashion show.

>> Okay, I'll go see her.

>> Okay. She's really a nice person.

Everybody loves her. Well, if she's such

a nice person, why does she want to see

me?

>> Ah, good point. She's at the desert in.

>> Ah, that's a good point. That's where

I'll be.

>> Okay.

>> Want to buy some wallpaper? Looking real

good.

>> Get the lipstick off you.

>> Perfect.

>> Please, girls, not too much sun. I don't

want to see stripes on you when you're

wearing my suits.

This is not a peep show, young man.

>> Oh, yes, ma'am. I'm not peeping.

>> Think of peeping.

>> What do you want?

>> Uh, my name is uh Tenner.

>> Oh,

well, you're younger than I expected.

>> Well, you caught me on one of my better

days.

>> Philip Roth says you're very competent.

Is that true?

>> Well, you can't argue a slick now, can

you?

>> Well, how much do you charge?

>> Well, $200 a day plus expenses.

If I take the case.

>> Oh, cocky. H

>> careful

>> and fast. I hope. I want you to clear up

this whole matter immediately.

>> Well, what exactly is this matter,

ma'am?

>> Today, it was a 5-ft length of pipe that

accidentally fell off the roof.

Yesterday, one of my girls went riding.

There was a gunshot. The horse shied and

threw her. And the day before that, Rita

Mason's car brakes failed and she ran

into a lamp post and broke her ankle.

>> Sounds like your girls are unusually

accidentrone.

>> Today was no accident, Mr. Tana. There

was a man up on that roof. Unless one of

my girls has stepped on toes

>> or somebody's trying to persuade you to

cancel your fashion show.

>> Exactly.

They're trying to terrorize us.

>> Well, we can't have that. It's bad for

business. Then I assume you will accept

the case.

>> Uh, sure. Is there somebody involved

with these accidents who I could talk

to?

>> Yes. Rita Mason. She's out by the pool.

You can't miss her. She's the one in the

cast.

>> Okay. Because of the light bulb she hit.

>> Yes.

>> I sing only.

>> Oh my. He is a charmer.

You must be reading.

>> Depends who's asking.

>> Well, uh, maybe I should sign in.

>> Be my guest.

Oh, so you're Dantana. I've heard about

you.

>> I don't believe a word of it.

>> Pity. Sit down.

>> I just have a second. Sarah said

something about you had an accident with

your car.

>> Oh, yeah. The brakes. All I can tell you

is that it was okay the night before. It

is kind of an old clunk, though.

>> Yeah. Where is it now?

>> It's at a place called Manny's Garage

over on

>> Yeah, I know. Manny.

>> Okay. Well, now that we have that out of

the way, let's talk about you. How do

you like me so far?

>> Dan.

>> Holly. Hey, how you going, Dave?

>> Fine.

>> Story of my life. How are you? Oh,

>> how long's it been?

>> When'd you get in town?

>> Just a couple of days.

>> Why haven't you called me?

>> Well, Sarah's had us in protective

custody ever since the accident started.

>> Well, some accident. Some guy's up on

the roof throwing pipe torpedoes at us

for God's sake.

>> Were you here when the accident

happened?

>> I wasn't, but she was.

>> I was. There was a guy up on the roof,

but he disappeared.

>> Yeah. Did you tell the police about it?

>> Of course I did. They asked me what he

looked like. I couldn't tell them.

>> Mhm.

>> He had a mustache, I think, but I don't

know. He was so far away.

>> So, uh, how long's it been?

>> 2 years, 3 months, and 10 days.

>> But who's counting?

>> Well, you look real good.

You don't look so bad yourself.

>> Do you have plans for dinner tonight?

>> Yeah.

>> I'll pick you up at 8:30.

>> Okay.

>> Bye-bye.

>> I'm really uh sorry about your foot

there.

>> Oh, thanks. Come around sometime when

the competition's not so fierce.

>> 2 years, 3 months, and 10 days. That's

quite a long torch you're carrying,

honey.

All right.

Oh,

hey.

6600.

Hey

Dantana investigations.

>> Benzer, I'm on the strip and I think I'm

wagging a tail. A gold Ford sedan.

>> No kidding. Somebody's following you.

>> Well, I'm not towing the guy.

Yeah. Call Nelson a metro. I have him

run a make on an Nevada plate. Robert

Adam449

just in case.

>> Robert Adam49.

Oh man, I just typed that on a police

record.

>> Then meet me at Manny's garage. Remember

the bit we pulled on Big Ado? You

>> mean the car bit?

>> Yeah, we're going to do it again to the

gold sedan.

>> Great. Great. Okay. Um I I'll meet you

at Manny's. I'll be there. I'll be I'll

be on time. Okay. Bye.

Hey, Manny. Give it a rest.

>> I'll give it a rest. All right. It's the

last time I'll take a job after some

bozo already stripped the threads. I'm a

mechanic, not not a magician.

>> Listen, you going to talk to me or do I

take my teber to somebody else next

time?

>> Dan, why didn't you say it was you?

>> Hey, Manny,

>> what can I do for you?

>> Yeah, you got Rita Mason's car around

here somewhere.

>> Oh, yeah, sure. Right over here.

>> There's one, huh?

>> Yeah.

>> What's wrong with it?

>> The brakes went out.

>> Brakes, huh?

Master seal could have broken and leaked

the brake fluid.

>> Maybe.

>> You don't think so?

>> No. I think it had some help.

>> Thanks, man. Sure thing.

See you next week for a tuneup. Be sure

you call for an appointment.

>> Yeah.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. N.

Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

No

heat.

Ben, you all right? See, I'm I'm sorry.

I I blew it. I should have got the

roadblock. I'm sorry.

>> It's all right. We'll get another shot

at him. Word sure got around a fast time

on this case, didn't it?

>> Yeah.

Can I give you a lift back to your car?

At

>> least

Mr. Cohen, Bert Cohen, please call the

hotel operator.

How's everything going?

>> Smooth.

>> Sarah Bankov is feeling the pressure.

Paul Roy, this is your boss, George

Crowley.

>> Don't you think it's a little dangerous

standing around talking like this in

front of God and everybody? You aren't

even supposed to arrive until Saturday,

you know.

>> Well, that's what Roth and Tenner think.

But nobody here knows me, so I'll just

stay out of sight.

>> Huh?

>> You'd better. Tina's no dummy. I found

it out myself this afternoon.

>> Oh, Roth wouldn't send me a stiff to

protect my diamonds.

>> Don't worry about it. Everything's going

along as planned.

>> Come on, let's have a drink. Come on.

So why'd you come back?

>> Oh, Hollywood was such a bummer.

>> That's it. Hollywood was a bummer.

That's the only reason. Well, I found

out that the only thing worse than my

singing is my acting.

So, I guess I'll just stick with

modeling.

But the days of frantically running all

over town trying to make three sessions

a day are long gone.

>> Well, you still have uh Sarah's fashion

shows,

right?

>> Yeah.

>> Then what are you going to do?

>> I don't know.

Do you have any suggestions?

>> Do I have any suggestions?

>> Come on, Dan. You don't have to let me

down easy. I'm the one that took the

walk. Remember?

>> Yes, I do remember.

>> I know how you feel.

>> You do?

I want you to tell me.

>> Listen, Dan. I've made a lot of

mistakes, but I've never made the same

one twice.

Could

we try again?

>> I promise I

long number. It really is. I promise

you.

>> Dad.

>> Hello.

>> How's your shower?

>> Holly, it's Sarah.

>> My dear, would you do me a favor?

>> I'll try. What do you need?

>> Well, it's the pictures from this

morning's session. They're on my desk at

the workroom. I have to meet with a

buyer tonight and it would help to have

the layout.

>> Where's Tom? Can't he pick him up?

>> No, Tom is busy on a photo session at

the Riviera.

>> Okay, I'll go get them.

>> Oh, you're a dear. Thank you, Holly.

>> You're not going to believe it.

>> You're probably right.

>> I have to run over to Sarah's workshop

and pick up some photographs.

>> I don't believe it.

>> Now.

>> Now. Listen,

>> the night is young

>> and my taxi service is very reasonable.

So,

>> I'm sure.

>> Why don't you let me ride you over

there?

>> Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. Do we have to go now?

>> Now.

>> Now.

>> Let's go,

>> man.

>> Got your key.

>> Yes.

Oh,

>> can we just get these pictures and get

out of here?

>> Okay. Okay. I have to find somewhere.

>> There's no smoke.

>> Come on. It's out. I put it out. It's

out.

>> Tom, what happened? Are you okay?

>> Yeah, I think so.

>> Yeah. I guess

I finished a picture session early and I

came back here to get some glossies. I

smell smoke.

>> Dan, this is Tom Brooft's nephew. He's

handling the publicity for the show.

>> You're Dan Jana? Huh? Well, I'm glad

Aunt Sarah hired you because this

stuff's got to stop.

>> You think this fire was set

deliberately?

>> I don't know.

It's dead. I'll call the fire department

arson squad. You stay here till they get

here. I'll see you back at Sarah's room

at the DI.

>> Sure.

>> You all right?

>> Yes, sir. Thank you very much.

Well, the arson squad's at the workshop

and uh Tom's on his way back to town.

>> What an evening, Miss Tensson. Little

business, a little pleasure, a little

food, a little wine, a little laughter,

a fire.

Forgot how much fun we used to have

together.

>> Well, thank you, Mr. Tana.

And just what are you trying to say that

you're trying so hard not to say?

What I'm trying to say is uh I mean the

thing I'd like to say is

I'm not saying this very well, am I?

>> No.

>> Oh, I just forgot

you.

>> Oh, Gardinia.

Oh, you remembered.

Well, Gardinas are hard to forget.

>> Among other things.

>> Yeah.

Among other things.

Listen, Dan. If you're going to go talk

detective talk with Sarah,

then I'm going to go to my room and take

a bubble bath and pamper myself.

>> I'll leave the door unlocked. Okay.

>> Oh, you know that sounds uh terribly

daring.

>> So, just take a second.

That's the girl that saw me throw the

pipe off the roof. If

>> she could identify you, she'd have done

it by now.

>> If she sees me again, she might

remember.

I don't think I want to take that

chance.

Who

who can be doing these obscene things?

Well, Sarah, it's obvious that you have

an enemy somewhere.

Now, think about it. Who would stand to

benefit if you failed?

>> I don't know.

>> Everything Sarah's guts tied up in this

fashion show Sunday.

>> Every cent she could ever save. Every

dime she could ever borrow. What he's

trying to tell you, dear boy, is that if

I had any ideas, I would have told you

long ago.

Maybe I should just forget the fashion

show.

It's the selling season. You can't wait

for it all to come around again. It's

now or not at all. I'd like to see you

hang in there.

>> There's one thing we all seem to agree

on.

No one has a motive.

That's starting to bug me.

See you later.

Hey.

Holly.

Holly. Holly.

Holly.

Oh my god.

Oh.

The bellman saw a man on the terrace.

When a guy ran across a lawn, his back

was to him.

>> Hey,

you all right?

No. Dan,

whoever he is will get him.

>> Better hope to God that you get to him

before I do.

>> We've been investigating some accidents

at Sarah Brooft's show. Avenger tells me

you're working for her.

>> You have anything else to tell me?

>> Told you everything I know.

Why don't you take over? I'm going to

make

Benzer, don't worry. He'll be okay.

Let me fill you in. The arson squad is

checking on a fire at Sarah's showroom.

>> Excuse me. Uh, did you get anything on

the license plate check on that gold car

that was following Dan?

>> Mhm.

registered to one Henry Gates. He showed

a New Jersey driver's license with an

Atlantic City address.

>> Let me guess, paid in cash, no local

address.

>> That's right. He left the car in the lot

last night, and nobody at the rental

agency can describe him.

>> Great.

That's enough, boys. Take it down. This

show has been cancelled.

>> Take a break.

>> What's going on here?

>> Sarah's cancelling the show.

>> Is that true? after last night.

I'm so very sorry, Mr. Tana. Dan, Holly

was really a beautiful young person, and

I know what it feels like to lose

someone you truly care for.

>> Thank you, sir. But Holly wouldn't want

you to quit. She knew how much this show

meant to you.

>> I don't think you realize what a

difficult decision this was. I mean, to

discard a dream I've had for so long. I

just can't believe that you'd throw away

all you've worked so hard for. I mean,

it just doesn't sound like the same man

Sarah I've known all my life.

>> Sarah, why don't you think it over?

>> Tell you one thing, I'm not going to

quit.

>> Hi, Vince.

>> How you doing?

>> I'm okay.

Um, Mr. Lensford at the mortuary is

waiting to see you and be asked me to

remind you uh that the diamond dealer

Roth wanted you to take care of. He's

going to be here at 4:30.

>> Yeah, Cwley,

by 9:00 I'll meet him.

>> Okay. Um, anything I can do for you?

>> What'd you hear from the fire

department?

>> Nothing. Not a thing.

>> Well, why don't you help be check the

backgrounds on those girls?

>> Okay, but all the competitors came up

clean so far.

>> Check it again. Maybe we missed

something. This thing just doesn't make

any sense.

>> See you later. Yeah.

I

>> got some prints I got to develop this

morning. Sarah, you mind if I see you

later?

>> Run along, dear boy. I'll just sit here

a while.

>> Is up

six. Here's a replay of that last

right here.

>> Well,

I hope you got a good reason for being

here. What's on your mind?

>> You said nobody'd be hurt.

>> Accidents happen, kid.

>> Last night, that was an accident,

>> so I'm told.

>> Well, did they tell you a Sarah was

cancelceled the show?

or she'll reconsider,

won't she?

>> I want out.

>> Tom, Tom, John, now you should have

thought about that before you laid

75,000 in IUs on me in that Atlantic

City game.

>> I'll pay him.

>> Oh, well, it's too late, Tom. The ship

has sailed.

It's a long swim.

Those waters,

they're filled with sharks.

Anything else?

>> Tana knows about him. The girl talked to

him.

>> Well, now if she'd have given him a

description, he'd have given it to the

cops. They'd have put out an APB.

>> You don't understand. Tana had a thing

for Holly Stinson. He's going to keep

coming after you, and he's not going to

give up.

>> He'll give up.

Tom,

let us worry about Tanner now. You just

be sure that there's a pretty fashion

show going on with all those

eye-catching ladies in their cute little

swimming suits when we officially

arrive.

>> Don't forget your camera, kid. They give

you that aura of success.

God knows you need it,

kid.

Goodbye.

>> What are we going to do about Tanner?

>> I want him dead.

That boy is right. Tenner is going to

keep coming and I don't want him in the

way this afternoon.

>> How do you want it done?

>> We're going to give Mr. Tanner the

opportunity to think that he can get his

girlfriend's murderer.

>> Tana

>> Dan Sarah Bankraftoft. I've changed my

mind about the show. I'm not a quitter.

>> I didn't think you were, Sarah.

>> But I do need some advice. A man just

phoned here and said to bring $50,000 to

the Yaka camp ground by 3 this afternoon

or my show would never go on.

>> What did you tell him?

>> Well, nothing. He hung up.

>> Okay, I'll handle it.

>> Oh, Dan, I don't want you to get into

trouble.

>> The guy on the phone must be the one who

killed Holly. I want him, Sarah.

>> Well, be careful. Be careful.

If you go in a street dressed like that,

you'll get arrested.

>> Yeah, they ruined my pants. Don't worry,

Ben have brought me a change.

>> How is it?

>> Well, as they say in the westerns, it's

just a flesh wound, partner.

>> Why didn't you call me? Cuz I didn't

want you to scare him off. Well, from

the looks of things, they don't scare

too easily.

>> No.

>> Well, even if you pick them out of the

mug book, the chances of us finding them

before Sarah's show are very remote.

Now, Dan, I talked to the fire chief,

and that fire in the work room was

probably the result of arson.

But all things being considered, I may

have to cancel her show.

>> Dave, you can't just pull the rug out

from under like this.

>> But there will be a lot of people there.

Another accident could be an absolute

disaster.

>> Dave, everything Sarah has is riding on

this show. And I'm not just talking

about money. Everything she ever dreamed

of, worked for all her life. You cancel

this show and you're canceling Sarah

Bankraftoft.

>> Okay,

I'll put a couple of plane clothesman on

it and I will ask hotel security to give

them all the people that we can use.

But if you're wrong, you're behind in a

sling. Well, I'll just have to sleep on

my stomach for a while, right?

>> Hey, uh Dave, uh these bushwhackers who

shot me probably think I'm dead, so

let's just keep it that way. All right,

>> fine. So, I'll order some liies.

>> Just in case.

>> Just in case. What?

>> Just in case they make it the next time.

Now this is a floor plan of the desert

in lobby.

The desk, elevators, and the front

entrance.

Now the bankroft show will start at 4:00

in the pool area and last for about an

hour. Every guard in the hotel will be

in that pool area. Yeah, but uh what if

they're not?

>> Are you kidding? With Tana dead, they

may even call in some offduty cops to

help.

>> I don't know. It's strange. There's been

nothing on radio or TV about Tana.

>> Well, they probably hadn't found the

body yet, but they must know that he's

missing.

Now, are we all squared away about the

timing?

>> Yeah. Security expects me to arrive at

4:30, but in fact, I'll be here a half

hour earlier, so there won't be any

guards in the lobby to protect me.

Now, Gates will come up on me at the

desk. I'll take the key at gunpoint,

unlock the case from your wrist, head

out to the chopper. Roy here already

have the motors running.

>> Just make sure you make it look good.

>> Yeah,

I'll be screaming about the inadequate

security.

and calling my insurance company of the

2 million.

>> Dan, what on earth happened your

limping? Well, some of your friends at

the Yucket Springs campgrounds were more

interested in a pound of flesh than

$50,000.

>> Oh, how terrible.

>> Well, they didn't get either one.

>> How things going here?

>> Well, two of my young ladies have

resigned.

>> I get cold feet.

>> Oh, we'll get along somehow.

>> I see they beefed up security.

>> Oh, yes. Isn't it wonderful?

The hotel turned over the entire

security force. You know, Tom will be so

pleased. He's asked them for guards all

week long, and they wouldn't give them

to him. Not until your friend,

Lieutenant Nelson, said he was

short-handed did we get them.

>> I see. Tom has been asking for more

security all week.

>> Yes. He's so concerned, you know, so

loyal.

>> Yeah. Where is Tom now?

>> Well, he's back in the office. He left

some sort of lens there. there.

>> Dan,

>> what's the matter, Tom? You look like

you just saw a dead man.

Oh, you just startle me. That's all.

>> I want to talk to you, Tom.

>> What about

>> about an itch I've been trying to

scratch that just won't go away?

>> I don't understand.

>> Questions, Tom. Questions.

Like how someone would know that your

photo session was going to be near that

rooftop

where Vicki was riding so they could

spook her horse or how they knew it was

Rita Mason's car they were tampering

with not somebody else's and then we had

a fire. The arson squad is investigating

but it looks like it was deliberately

set. And if it was how did the arsonist

get in here, Tom? Because there's no

sign of forced entry. You know what it

looks like to me? It looks like somebody

on the inside was passing information to

somebody on the outside.

>> Hey, now wait a minute. You're not

saying that I'm

>> I thought about you, Tom.

I just didn't float.

I mean, why would you want to hurt

Sarah?

>> I wouldn't, Dan. Believe me.

>> Unless the idea was not to hurt Sarah,

but to create a diversion. So, all the

deserting guards would be out by the

pool guarding this room fashion show

while George Crowley waltzes into the

lobby with 2 million in diamonds.

Crowley.

Who's Crowley?

I got to get back to the hotel. It's not

polite to interrupt, Tom.

And we haven't discussed Holly yet.

>> And now the sun goddess medley.

Of

course, the medley wouldn't be complete

without this stunningly simple swimsuit

inspired by the golden Aztec sun Bret

Lane in a creation called Sun Goddess.

Now we have Melinda modeling what I call

desert rainbow.

Note the splash of vibrant colors.

Thank you, Melinda. Isn't she lovely?

Incidentally, these suits are marvelous

for travel. They fit into your coin

purse.

Now we have Stephanie wearing spring

flowers.

The bright colors are designed to take

your breath away. Thank you, Stephanie.

By the way, with my suit, one size fits

all. Of course, the larger the girl, the

smaller the bikini.

The next suit is very provocative. It's

worn by Tanya and it's guaranteed to

make men stop and look. Don't you agree?

You will note that all our swimwear is

made from the latest synthetics. The

high French cut is stunningly

attractive.

You know, isn't it remarkable that only

one of these girls has had enough

objective?

Well, haven't you noticed?

Oh, this is our multi-purpose suit worn

by Cynthia. It can take you to the beach

and then right on to the disco.

Isn't she fabulous?

10 investigations.

>> B, I want you to track down Nelson. Have

him swing by the sun kind of swim and

pick up Tom Bank prop. Then have him

come over to the desert end.

>> Important.

>> $2 million worth.

Mr. Dan Tam is supposed to meet me here.

I'm a bit early.

>> Just keep still and nobody say a word.

Now give me the key.

>> I don't have a key. Suit yourself. You

want to die?

>> All right.

>> Mr. Cohen. Mr. B Cohen. Please follow

me.

You weren't in this alone. Two men shot

at me.

>> You'll get nothing out of me.

>> You killed Holly. I'll get all you've

got to give.

>> Stop.

I had to. I was haunted.

>> Who ordered you?

>> Carly. Really?

>> Call security.

Heat. Heat.

Come on. I can't control this thing. I

can't make it. Help me.

Journey.

Give me a hand. Help me. Let go. Just

let go. I'm going to cry.

Enough.

Enough.
